Saw some tour casting for the Stonybrook stop on Instagram. Mostly typical but thought this one was interesting:

SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED

Principals: Katherine Williams, Jarod Curley

Cassie took over the ABT Instagram today. Some hints at her and Herman in Like Water for Chocolate.

And a few others but I am not familiar with the characters/storyline.

Has Devin done Giselle before??

Misty said in an interview for her new book her target is winter 2023.

Found a pic of Frankie in the blue dress in Like Water For Chocolate

Cassie posted about shooting for Spring (summer) season on her Instagram. 
 

So might be able to get some hints if we keep our eyes peeled today. 
 

Or hopefully the shooting means an announcement soon!

Nevermind 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Tyler just posted:

**Casting Change**
Unfortunately, due to a
rapid flare up of Achilles
tendinitis I won't be
performing this Friday. I'm
feeling much better than I
was last week but we had
to make a call and I think
it's best I save myself for
Sunday to give the best
possible performance.
Sorry for anyone who was
hoping to see me and
@zimmig on Friday. It's
unfortunate my return to
the stage has to be delayed
but @zimmig and I are
looking forward to tackling
this ballet on Sunday! Bi

The ABT Instagram posted Breane and said:

The attitude is: excited for day 1 in the
theater and SO EXCITED for our newest #ABTSoloist
@BreanneGranlund to make her debut as Princess
Praline alongside @Daniil this Saturday (2PM) 

Was realllllllllly hoping to see Zimmi Friday night!

How late do you think they will go on the last “The Boy” castings?

Looked back at a couple previous fall emails/press and it looks like casting came out around this week. Hoping soon!!!

Any predictions for “The Boy”??

Just to be clear, surprised about the timing for Cassie in the Tharp show. Not the casting! ☺️☺️

A little surprised (but excited!) to see Cassie is performing in the Twyla Tharp program at NY City Center Oct 19-23.

Misty did perform in 2019 (Spring, Fall, and Nutcracker). 
 

Also, 39. 

Misty missed her 20th anniversary too. I wonder if they were hoping Lifted would have been a part of that….

The tours so far are looking like an interesting mix….

February, Kennedy Center, R&J

March, Segerstrom, Like Water for Chocolate

April, Auditorium Chicago, Mix Rep

May, Lied Nebraska, Giselle and Hancher Iowa, Mixed Rep

I think it’s a bummer that Carlos Gonzalez is injured too, because I think he could step up in to a lot of these roles with Frenette and Klein. 
 

Tyler Maloney probably as well. 

They posted some casting for the new Alonzo King piece at the Kennedy Center:

March 29th: Isabella Boylston, Thomas Forster,
Calvin Royal III, Skylar Brandt, 
 

March 30th: Christine Shevchenko, 
Cory Stearns, Calvin Royal III, 
Devon Teuscher

Not sure how to link it but Katie Boren has a nice (I mean, hard but nice) post on her Instagram story.

I'm very excited about the Spring Season... but absolutely shocked about Cassie! Is she getting any performances at all? The calendar is working for me, but I don't see her name listed anywhere. 

Right now, all that is showing for Cassie is one Romeo and Juliet with Herman.

They are listed for each show under the summer season still.

Not impressed with the opportunities (or lack of opportunities) given to Cassie.

As an out of town fan I stalk the tour page and just saw this one pop up….

May 14 - 15, 2022

Interesting with the later season to be able to do a May tour stop…

Katherine Williams and Blaine Hoven are scheduled for the Saturday Peasant PdD

Thank you!!

Does anyone with a program know who will be dancing the Peasant Pas at the Saturday matinee performance? My curiosity would greatly appreciate the info!! ☺️☺️
